CQB Series pt2: Making Airsoft IPSC USPSA Targets

Since my CQB Master has not arrived yet - I decided to make some targets so when it does arrive, I can put it thru its paces.

Materials:
----------------

18" x 24" 22 gauge Aluminum sheet
Picture of Pepper Popper, Classic Popper & Mini Pepper & Mini Classic

Sharpie
Tin Snips

Instructions
-------------------
cut out targets, trace onto sheeting, cut out with tin snips.

*Note: its so simple I didnt include it in the video

Anyway if you watch you see what I ended up with.

do you know wich aluminium you used to make the targets ? And did you bend the standing feets of the poppers when the aluminium was cold ? Or was it heated to melt temperature ? And do you know if all aluminium is bendable in cold form?

sorry for the many questions, but I thought aluminium will break when you try to bend.

@dionjulien Actually I think it was thin steel galvanized steel sheets. Easy enough to cut with tin snips and bend by hand.

@dionjulien P.S. In hindsight I would go with a heavier gauge steel so the bbs don't pit the metal so much. With these targets & need to hammer out the dings and repaint every so often.

I hope this helps.

Hey Steve. On a scale of 1-10 how good do you think Airsoft is as a training platform.

[SafeArmsReview]

@airsoftmasta102 1-10 with 1 being the best.

I would say the best #1 is real firearms & ammo training; #10 would be dry fire practice, so airsoft IMO would rate about a 4.

how long did shipping take?

[SafeArmsReview]

they have different option for shipping - regular ground, express, 2-3 days, overnight, etc. If I remember right it took about 5-7 days for it to come in.

At first I thought the beginning was mythbusters and then I thought harder and realized where I heard it from, it's the song from my schools announcement video theme news thingy... I know, bro, it's a pretty damn cool story!
